It was weird for me to come to grips with the fact that I have an accent when I lived in England.Bil The Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049434871458341175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841949.post-1143900598334380462006-04-01T07:09:00.000-07:002006-04-01T07:09:00.000-07:00i have a thick accent? thats the first time anyone...i have a thick accent? thats the first time anyone has ever said that to me... i actually have the most bland accent ever, sounding much like a bbc newsreader. nothing interestingly regional or gaelic. i always fancied a crisp scots accent. instead i usually get accused of being 'posh'! <BR/><BR/>huge thanks for the lending of osce skills!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947936309477421694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841949.post-1143851257353277942006-03-31T17:27:00.000-07:002006-03-31T17:27:00.000-07:00Anna, I won't tell you about my love of fish eyeba...Anna, I won't tell you about my love of fish eyeballs, since apparently, you may find that gross. I will look around for ambrosia custard, though. There are 'anglophile' stores around town that would carry that; maybe some of the superstores would have it too... oh, and feel free to transnetally absorb my OSCE skills. <BR/><BR/>Gold Star, as Bil says, I'm around 6'5" as well. I used to have a lot of back problems in high school and undergrad, but they went away completely after I rowed for a season. Now, I think I need to put some effort into my back again. I'm pretty sure that it was my iliacus that was at fault last week. :( My psoas seems to be holding up quite well, though. <BR/><BR/>Well Bil, then it's good that I didn't quit Boston early. :) You know, I should have put 'my friends' in my list of things I missed about Boston, but then again, people aren't <I>things</I>, so they don't really fit. :)Tall Medstudenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062168251011780248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841949.post-1143849150298909002006-03-31T16:52:00.000-07:002006-03-31T16:52:00.000-07:00Anna, your accent comes thickly across the interne...Anna, your accent comes thickly across the internet so why not U2s skills. He is a tall one. 6' 5" to be exact (I think). Funny someone could guess that. <BR/><BR/>U2, we never spoke much while you were in Fairchild.

I'm 6'5", and my psoas tighten up if I sit too long and dont exercise. Makes it hard to bend over or sit straight ya know? Anyways, first time seeing your blog.

I used to love walking from work over to Cambridge on a warm summer night. Boston is definitely a good walking town. Always made it better to walk with a friend and we did our share of walking.<BR/><BR/>I like the jjm story being linked to ice cream. I recently got an e-mail from my old advisor because he watched "Walk the Line" and it made him think about the ribosome. He was reminiscing about my days there and my love of the Cash. Nice memories. I should post on that.Bil The Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049434871458341175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15841949.post-1143660187450967552006-03-29T12:23:00.000-07:002006-03-29T12:23:00.000-07:00o dear, you really didn't want to study, did you.....o dear, you really didn't want to study, did you... <BR/><BR/>hope the OCSE goes well!
